I have first images from two new shows for you today, starting with NBC's GROSSE POINTE GARDEN SOCIETY which will follow four members of a suburban garden club, all from different walks of life, who get caught up in murder and mischief as they struggle to make their conventional lives bloom. Ben Rappaport is Brett, cool in a threadbare kind of way, he put
his own dreams of starting a car restoration business on hold so his
wife (now ex-wife) could finish law school. Melissa Fumero
is Birdie. Entitled, rich, swathed in Chanel, a smoker, a drinker,
self-destructive at times, toxic at others, but not without real pain
beneath her facade. Aja Naomi King plays Catherine, an unhappily married mother of two younger children, a realtor who works off some of her loneliness with a very juicy secret. Matthew Davis is Joel, a police officer whom Birdie takes an interest in. Anna Sophia Robb is Alice, your favorite high school English teacher, a dreamer whose best dreams are crashing down on her. Alexander Hodge plays Doug, Alice’s husband. Check out the trailer for February 23rd series.

Augustus Prew joins the cast as Tony Adams, Nolly’s Crossroads co-star, devoted friend, confidante, and her occasional chauffer.
